Using his knowledge of elemental geology and his appreciation of natural forces
and beauty, William Gooder has created unique works of art using the medium of
Lake Superior rocks.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
All rocks used in his artwork were hand-selected, over many years, from an area
unique in all the world for its special reservoir of glacial and sedimentary rock.

|
Their colors, shapes, and textures are attractive and rich, but the allure of
these rocks lie in how they convey the stories of their formation by the forces of nature.

Some are spectacular for their amazing shapes,
some for their purity and texture,
others for their colors and luster,
all for the eons of time and pressures carved into them.
